From My Sketchbook


Is this an hibiscus?  You know, one of those bulbs that you can buy at Christmas time from Home Depot.  It grows this long green stalk, and then BANG!  BANG!  BANG!  BANG!  Out pop 4 or 5 beautiful red blooms. Magnificent.

I had this all drawn out in ink, ready to be "decorated" with doodles...but no!  I couldn't ignore all that fabulous red!  So I pulled out my colored pencils and pretended to be in 1st grade again.  Color inside the lines, class!

ADDITION:  I've been informed that this is an AMARYLIS!  I have no idea what an hibiscus looks like!
